MARCH NEWSLETTER
Gun violence has gripped our nation this month. We didn’t even have time to grieve the tragedy in Atlanta fueled by racism and misogyny, before another mass shooting, this time in Boulder, shook our sense of safety yet again. In the Alliance’s home city of Seattle, a shooting at the Emerald City Bible Fellowship church reverberated throughout our community. These shootings are painful evidence of the cost of inaction in the face of the gun violence epidemic.
